We recently proposed [arXiv:1707.06010] a search of galactic axions with mass about 0.2 $\mu$eV using a
large volume resonant cavity, tens of cubic meters, cooled down to 4 K and immersed in a
moderate axial magnetic field of about 0.6 T generated inside the superconducting magnet of the
KLOE experiment located at the National Laboratory of Frascati of INFN.
This experiment, called KLASH...

Presentation
Indirect searches for dark matter are performed based on atmospheric neutrino data collected with the Super-Kamiokande (SK) detector in years 1996-2016. The excess of neutrinos from possible dark matter sources such as Sun, Earth and Galactic Center, compared to the expected atmospheric neutrino background is searched. Angular distributions and energy spectra as expected for signal and...

Presentation
Ultra-light axions arise generically in string compactifications and furnish an attractive possibility for dark matter and dark energy in the universe. I'll review the cosmological implications of ultra-light axions, covering phenomenology ranging from CMB power spectra to galaxy weak-lensing observations. After summarizing current constraints, I'll discuss the exciting axionic sensitivity of...

Presentation
Axions are hypothetical particles related to the violation of the charge-parity symmetry within the strong sector of the Standard Model, being one of the most prone candidates for dark matter. Multiple attempts to prove their existence are currently performed in different physical systems. Here, we predict that axions may couple to the electrostatic (Langmuir) modes of a strongly magnetized...
